Rails 5 and Ruby 2.2 bring many improvements, including new APIs and substantial performance enhancements, and the fifth edition of Sam Ruby's book is now updated with coverage of Action Cable, and completely updated code for Rails 5.

This book is a long-established classic for Rails, developed in consultation with the Rails core team, and Rails itself is tested against the code in this book. Sam Ruby starts with a step-by-step walkthrough of building a real application, and in-depth chapters look at the built-in Rails features.
